Nice, modern apartment. Just what we needed for our short stay. The best points were the modern features, ease of access (door code given day of arrival), and air conditioning. The apartment stayed a comfortable temperature despite it being 36 degrees outside! There is plenty of space and storage. Much more pleasant than staying in a cramped hotel room. The location is very quiet and residential. We chose it because it was walking distance to Sziget festival. You could be in the centre within 10 minutes, but not walkable. We ordered groceries and food, as there wasn't a lot of options in local area. It was very clean, but could do with some touch ups (like stain removal). The only issue was the bed - very hard mattress, and very soft pillows. There is not so much space in the bedroom, so try to avoid banging your leg on the metal bed frame (it hurts!). Overall would recommend, if the location suits your needs.

It was a very nice and modern apartment in a quiet area, with fast wifi and all the necessities. Great bathroom and furnishings. Nice little patio and free coffee pods with creamer -- excellent (other than the eternal plastic waste). You may have to hunt for information sometimes, like where the laundry room is (in the garage, available for guests after 15:30). Overall, it's a great option for the area. Pro tip: Weeknight prices are much cheaper than weekends. I saw a review complaining about the staff, but the cleaning lady was very friendly to me and helpful. She was generous with supply refills and towels. The electric blackout curtains and firm mattress were amazing for me. You can make the entire apartment pitch black in daytime with the press of a few buttons -- incredibly helpful for restful sleep. Bravo! Closing the windows cuts out nearly all outdoor noise, which is generally low anyway. My upstairs neighbors stomped around sometimes, which was a bit loud even with concrete ceilings/floors. This is unfortunately common and a matter of luck. Otherwise, it was very peaceful and a great place to rest or get work done. I would stay here again.
